David&Goliath and Kia Optima: the stuff very weird dreams are made of

I finally got around to seeing that movie Inception the other day. While it wasn’t mindblowingly amazing,  there were some pretty interesting points made about the nature of dreams. The whole stuff about ‘kicks’ and the compoundded time within a dream got me thinking of the one dream I remember from childhood, where I dreamed I had fallen from some lush, tropical cliff, while in reality I had fallen from the top bunk and bashed my head on the nightstand.

I can honestly say that my dreams weren’t nearly as surreal and vivd as the the ones the kid in this TV spot for the Kia Optima by the gang at David&Goliath in LA. Rocket ships, knights on horseback, trains with animal passengers…. maybe it’s because I never had a race car bed. That might also be the reason why I take the subway instead of a mid-sized sedan.
